“Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spoke, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.” – Exodus 15v1
The victory was won and the deliverance from Egypt was complete. God defeated the nation of Egypt in a glorious way. The people of Israel responded with a wonderful song of praise and each one said, “I will sing unto the Lord.”
Songs of praise are a consistent theme throughout all of Scriptures. God’s people are always referred to as singing people. We read in Ephesians 5v19, “Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord.”
It is obvious that God’s will is for His people to sing songs of praise. These songs have two purposes. One reason is simply to give God the songs of praise He is due, but singing also is to allow God’s people to edify and encourage each other in their joint praise of God.
May our hearts and lips be full of praise songs to our Saviour.
